I am shipwrecked in rural Texas amongst a right-wing elite. It's a bummer. I post hoping that others lost in a sea of red will be able to come together and form a fighting collective wherever they may live. www.shipwreckedintexas.com

I stand that if a single Democrat in the House or Senate votes for the spending proposal, they should be replaced without hesitation when their election cycle comes up. Republicans are already laying off workers enthusiastically. There is not that much left to lose with a shutdown.

Trump, Musk, and the rest of the Republicans are cutting Medicaid, social security, and veterans’ programs to make more tax cuts for billionaires like them. This is why we elect Working Families Party candidates like @ramirez.house.gov . We deserve leaders who will fight for us.

Some love to Ukraine from La Grange, TX, today. Happy to stand with some folks in unity.

This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

It's truly incredible how Republicans assign no value to life after birth unless you end up believing what they believe and looking like what they think you should look like. Sound the alarm folks! www.kxan.com/news/texas-p...

Meanwhile, the Texas Legislature tries to enforce The Ten Commandments in EVERY classroom. www.chron.com/culture/reli...

Proof we need to fight on a national stage to have impact locally. Biden administration tried to tamper down book bans but the Trump administration, and it's anti-LGBTQ sentiments, will probably be the fuel to push this next book ban in Texas. dentonrc.com/news/texas_l...

The Republican party just said the quiet part out loud. They don't care if you legally obtain a green card, become a citizen, or even if you're elected to Congress. If you don't fit into their vision of what an "American" looks like, you will always be "illegal" to them.

Michael McCaul, Republican, TX-10, where I live, posted this on Feb 24th. Very praising of Trump's stance making it sound as if Trump opposes Putin. He knows better. And where is his response to Feb 28th? By my watch it's been about a week. Problems Michael?

Trump’s coup is still underway, and an unelected billionaire is handing teenagers the keys to Americans’ most sensitive data — yet 10 House Democrats just sided with Republicans to police criticism of Trump.

One million children untreated for severe acute malnutrition. 166,000 people dying from malaria. Tuberculosis cases going up by 30%. 200,000 more children paralyzed by polio over the next decade. This is the real cost of carelessly cutting USAID. Experts warned Trump & Musk. They did it anyway.

BREAKING: The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office just confirmed Republicans who say their budget doesn't cut Medicaid are lying. Their budget *requires* the largest Medicaid cuts in American history - all while delivering a $4.5 TRILLION giveaway to billionaire donors.

Unfortunately, we all have to be very anti-Republican with both rep's and their voters. If you voted for Trump, you said you're OK with an insurrection. You're OK with restricting women's rights. You're OK with a felon in office. And there is no room for negotiation or polite discourse right now.

The richest people on earth are taking over our government and trying to cut Veteran, Social Security, and Medicaid programs to pay for tax cuts for themselves. This is a fight for our country, for the people, and for a future where we all have what we need. This Party is ready to work. Join us?

Regarding tonight's "presidential" address: Thank you to all those that spoke up and got escorted out (Al Green of my home state), and to all those that just walked out. I thought not showing up was the way to go, but actual disruption was better. To all those that remained silent, do better!
